I like free tickets for kids, but that's not what moves me. There's been some progress made, but there are some unanswered questions. |
I think I've done whatever they've asked me to do. They've asked me to run, rebound and defend. I know that's not fan-favorite type of work. But now he's (Jackson) asking me to score a little bit, and I think ... I've done a pretty good job. |
I think it was my own teammate — I think it was Cookie. When you get hit that hard, you don't know. |
I tried to make a quick push and it gave a pop on me. They say two weeks, but two weeks is a long time. It's going to be boring as [anything] sitting at home. |
I want to assure everyone that I am completely innocent of any wrongdoing and look forward to the truth coming out when this matter is fully investigated. On the advice of my attorney, I cannot comment further. |
I was going to slap the (expletive) out of him. |
I'll admit it, what I did was wrong - not showing up was wrong - but I ain't saying what I would've done if I showed up would've been right. Being that I didn't show up I didn't put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don't put me in a game, I would've done something seriously wrong to him. |
I'm not interested in that conversation. That's a non-starter for me. That cap is rock solid. It can cost whatever ... but this is what we're going to spend. |
It's over. And we're moving on. |
Kobe was leading us perfect tonight. Everybody expects him to come out and score 40 because it's the playoffs, but he did what a leader and general should do. |
Now it is time to really hone it in and focus. Everyone talks about how great coach Jackson is in these types of situations in the playoffs and teaching, so I am just eager to get in the film session and see what he has for us. |
Rushing the vote is the wrong thing, and there might not be a positive outcome. The council can't look at it in three days. I would hope we have this vote pushed back. |
Scare Tactics, |
The thing is, the whole thing stems from Gilbert telling them not to put me in the game. I didn't come to practice because I was going to be a distraction. I was going to slap ... him. I'll admit it, what I did was wrong -- not showing up was wrong -- but I ain't saying what I would've done if I showed up would've been right. Being that I didn't show up I didn't put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don't put me in a game, I would've done something seriously wrong to him. |
This is a resurrection. |
